these pos holes to be dug month be-
fore they are used and if the city has

around on all the streets where these
holes are and fill them up, and when

them, are good or bad. The quiet,
old-fashioned manner Of life vas con-
ducivc to heath and long v ty an
resulted in more even and salisiac-
tory distribution of wealth.
PREACHER: We have had delightful
weather this winter and have enjoyed
good hca tn and prosperity Some
appreciate al. this, but it must be con-
trasted with cold rains, keen winds,
storms, snow and slush before the
great majority will realize the bless

pleasures of lifelong acquaintance and
of living near relatives and friends,
besides a thousand delightful associa-
tons by changing their homes to
strange places. OF course many oth-
ers find it well to move.
J.W. FIYLAY: The public improve
ments badly needed in this city would
keep all the unemployed men here at
work for several months. These men
would spend their wages for property
or me chandise and improve trade.
The improvement of trade would III
crease the number of merchants ana
rents would advance. Suppose the
city fathers just try the liberal policy
indicated once Tor the sake Of both
rich and poor.

Lynching Too Good.

Chicago, Jan. l9.-The meagre particC-
. lars ~ 4 shocking ease of cruelty to boy
about 20 years of age, were reported to the
sheriff and states attorney by Phil Wag-
ner, mini-te living in fremont, H.,
Sunday
About wear ago family BY the rame
OF Sanche, consisting of the father, mother,
a bog about 10 years old and an infant,
came to fremont from Switzerland They
rented the old building formerly used as
the Tazewell county court house in Ire
mont, and but little Of their habits and
mode OF living was learned by
outsiders. Sunday the boy came
to the Wagner house in ter
rible condition and related how his
parents had tried to kill him. -Four other
children had run away from home as soon
as they were old enough on account OF
cruel treatment According TO the boys
story for the most trivial otfenses he would
be pinioned down with his hands lied to
his feet and his mouth gagged with a gum
ny sack pulled over his body This would
be tied securely to the floor in an out
house and water pourel over him and
allowed to freeze. Parts of his body,
which were dashed into stripes with re-
peated beatings and badly frozen will have
to be amputated. His toes on both feet
are so badly frozen that the attending phys
ician says they will drop of. On one oc-
casion he was directed to empty pan of
ashes IN barrel standing near the house,
and some live Goals set the barrel on
fire. This was taken by his brutal parents
as evidence that the lad was attempting to
burn them out, and he says he was dragged
to the red hot stove and his hands held
on it until the members were fried to a
crisp.
Ssnche delivered himself over to the
sheriff at Pekin. Monday night, as he
feared the citizens would hang him during
the night. The condition of the boy is ter
rible, large patches of his flesh drop of
when the bandages around his body are re-
moved. Excitement over the affair is very
high.
The prisoner is closely guarded to pre-
vent mob wreaking immediate vengeance
on him.

She and her distinguished parents,

with grief and modification over
Miss Van Zandt'S determination tn marry
Spies. They have written the girls family
that she is disinherited and all intercourse

received from Mrs. Van Zandt inviting
them to the marriage of their daughter
next Thursday In the Jail. Mrs.
Van Zandt says that she and her husband
disapprove the match. Mr.. Clarke is pros
trated and it is feared he may not recover.
Miss VanZandt was seen tonight and

outrage She stated that she would soon

been necessarily postponed but would soon
take place.

with Miss FanZandt where she says that
Spies has experienced

Cleveland, Jan. GA horrible murder
was committed here this morning between
seven and eight o'clock. James Cabalek,
is a well-tO-dO carpenter living ON INDIE
pendenee street, near the city limits. He
has had employment all winter and his
oldest son has worked with him. This
morning he and his son went to work be-
fore seven o'clock. His mother, AntOinette,
mad been out of temper at the breakfast
table and had refused to talk to her hus-
band. Directly after breakfast she sent
Henry, her fifteen year old SON, to the gro
Gerry near by, and still another son to a
milk depot. When they returned they
could not get into the house. Going into
the back yard, they saw James, thirteen
years old, in closet
BLEEDING FROM SIXTEEN WOUNDS
in his left side. They fastened away and
called their oldest brother, who had gone
of with their father, and returning, the
three boys forced an entrance to the house
They discovered Tony, an eight-year-old
girl, bleeding from a dozen cuts in the left
side. On the floor near by were Mamie,
FIVE years Old, Antoinette, three years old,
and Willie three months old, all dead
from dreadful stabs near the heart. A
bloody pair of old shears told the story. \
hunt was made for the mother. She was
found in the cellar hanging from a rafter,
dead. She had killed her three children,
MORALLY wounded two others, and then
suicided. The two children, who were still
alive, were removed to neighbor's house,
bu. they will die. No cause for the terri
BILE deed is given. The husband does not
think his wife was insane.
